Splunk Workshop

See how Splunk fits into your enterprise business solution

Splunk is a differentiator in the market today and will quickly be adopted by all facets of any enterprise. The use cases vary from security, operations, business, compliance, and OT to providing business analytics and anomaly detection using machine learning. Splunk provides monitoring and correlations of all machine data throughout the enterprise. This is accomplished through customized dashboard displays to show data that matters in a single pane of glass.

Whether your business is retail, manufacturing, medical, financial, government, defense or another vertical, Splunk will enable you to gain valuable insights by ingesting data from all the devices, tools and applications located in the architecture. Splunk uses schema on the fly and schema at read/write time, which means any commodity storage can be used without reliance upon a relational data base back end to create the structure of the data load. Splunk will collect, index and display data from any data source using the text format.

Objectives

The WWT Splunk Workshop is a two- to four-hour strategic discussion and whiteboard session focused on identifying your companies business and security challenges. WWT experts customize the session to meet your companies’ specific areas of interest, which may include:

Splunk Enterprise Core – This session is designed to demonstrate how Splunk will maximize value in any enterprise at scale and will quickly become the tool of choice by analysts and support personnel across different business units.

Security – This session is designed to identify any gaps in the overall security posture and to provide solutions to detect and respond to known and unknown threats.

Business Analytics/Intelligence – This session is designed to provide workflow optimization by gathering data to create business models to facilitate an agile environment when responding to customer and business needs.

Correlation Between Operational Technology and Integrated Technology (OT&IT) – This session evaluates ITOA as one of the fastest growing integrations in enterprises. As the line between the two are blurring, OT devices are becoming Internet aware and remote access continues to become the standard using the webspace, there is growing concern of threats using SCADA devices for malicious intent.

Benefits

Organizations have a vast array of disparate data sets which is output created by tools, devices, applications, controls and other technologies found in the enterprise.

Whether customers are seeking to detect and protect against known and unknown threats, derive business intelligence through the use of models and predictive analysis or integrate their OT with IT to provide a secure architecture, Splunk will become the solution for those challenges by providing a stable platform that is fully customizable and developer friendly.

For most organizations, the ability to demonstrate compliance to an assessment program directly correlates to the maturity of their cyber security program. Learn more about WWT’s approach to integrated endpoint security architecture for our federal customers.

Endpoint security must be part of an overall security architecture and strategy. If all the areas referenced in this paper are addressed and integrated within an environment, the result will be a level of protection that far exceeds anything a single point product can provide.

Organizations understand that providing users with secure access can be challenging and strenuous. Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an enterprise program that focuses on ensuring that authorized people and devices have the appropriate access at the right time.

WWT’s comprehensive security assessments allow organizations to gain a comprehensive understanding of their security program maturity and walk away with prescriptive recommendations to mitigate identified risks or control gaps.
